Trapped In Lace

Rachel looked up at Eric and said, "You know the reason, right?"

"But Jack didn't care about Celine anymore. He has clearly chosen you. Why do you still have to leave? Moreover, Jack already has everything. What else can you ask for?"

Eric was now furious, but Rachel was just enjoying her food. Feeling annoyed, he pushed the bowl in front of her away and said, "Rachel, can you give me a good reason?"

"You have nothing to do with it."

Rachel called a waiter and requested for a new bowl. As soon as she had it, she started digging into the hotpot again.

Eric snorted, "I am your cousin. How can you say that it has nothing to do with me? Besides, I really don't like Bill. He's useless. I don't understand why you like him."

He kept on talking while Rachel just focused on her food.

When she was full, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Did Jack pay you?"

"What... what are you talking about?" Eric stammered.

"You used to hate him so much in the past, but now you're always defending him. Don't you think it's strange?" She had a feeling that Eric was conniving with Jack.

Feeling guilty, he couldn't meet her eyes. But he still continued to side with Jack. "I just know that Jack is better than any other man."

"It's up for me to decide if you are right. Don't tell me what to do."

Thinking that he had just helped her, she pretended to be polite. Jack immediately answered, "I worked overtime, so I haven't had dinner yet. Do you mind if I stay for dinner?"

She was forced to reply, "I don't mind."

Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still simply tidied up and began to prepare dinner.

While waiting, Jack took the opportunity to look around the house.

He looked around carefully and made sure that everything there belonged to Rachel. A few moments later, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she and Bill hadn't lived together.

His mood became better. Since it had been many years since the last time he tasted the dishes cooked by Rachel, he swept all the dishes on the table.

As a result, he had a really bad stomachache in the early morning.

He went to the toilet more than five times. However, it didn't ruin his mood.

Two days later, Jack drove to Rachel's apartment early in the morning. Since they had gotten along well two nights ago, he thought that he could now have the opportunity to get close to her.

But at that time, Rachel was already in her office.

She hadn't slept well last night because she couldn't take Jack away from her mind, so she decided to go to work early today.
